Invasive Species unveils cars as creatures\u2014feral, grotesque, inscrutable, a bane of our environment. The series explores cell phone camera so-called malfunction and its contribution to a subject’s portrayal. My method is gestural documentation; it involves motion, chance, and unpredictable outcomes. I facilitate the study and categorize the output. The series is in fact a record of nearly every car trip I’ve taken since 2014. While I prefer to avoid the predatory words used to describe the act of photography, when I’m in a car, I shoot cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be clear, the gas-powered car is an Invasive Species<\/em> that we introduced and have allowed to aggressively consume, pollute, and dominate where and how we live. While they remain a prominent excuse to stay reliant on fossil fuels they mask the power and greed that corporate profit holds over the situation. As is, these beasts are a considerable vehicle for disaster. They get us from place to place, but where are we really going? The environmental impact of the status quo is dire. We are fossil fuel-ish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
